Getting a comma out of an integer

I'm trying to pull prices from the RS wiki, but when I pull the price string to convert it to an integer it tries to take the comma with it. Any ideas on how I can make this not happen?

Something like this should take your commas out.

mystring := replace(mystring, ',', '', [rfReplaceAll]);

Or you could just extract numbers only:


function getGEPrice(itemString: string): integer;
var
  wikiaPage, priceString: string;
begin
  wikiaPage := getPage('http://runescape.wikia.com/wiki/Exchange:' + itemString);
  priceString := between('GEPrice">', '</span>', wikiaPage);
  result := strToIntDef(ExtractFromStr(priceString, numbers), -1);
end;

getGEPrice('Iron_ore');

Hey now, that's nifty! That will shave a couple lines off of my script for sure! 6 types of hide, 6 types of leather :P
